Psalms 66

1Unto the end, in hymns, a psalm of a canticle for David.

1Make a joyful noise unto God, all the earth:

2May God have mercy on us, and bless us: may he cause the light of his countenance to shine upon us, and may he have mercy on us.

2Sing forth the glory of his name: Make his praise glorious.

3That we may know thy way upon earth: thy salvation in all nations.

3Say unto God, How terrible are thy works! Through the greatness of thy power shall thine enemies submit themselves unto thee.

4Let people confess to thee, O God: let all people give praise to thee.

4All the earth shall worship thee, And shall sing unto thee; They shall sing to thy name. [Selah

5Let the nations be glad and rejoice: for thou judgest the people with justice, and directest the nations upon earth.

5Come, and see the works of God; He is terrible in his doing toward the children of men.

6Let the people, O God, confess to thee: let all the people give praise to thee:

6He turned the sea into dry land; They went through the river on foot: There did we rejoice in him.

7The earth hath yielded her fruit. May God, our God bless us,

7He ruleth by his might for ever; His eyes observe the nations: Let not the rebellious exalt themselves. [Selah

8May God bless us: and all the ends of the earth fear him.

8Oh bless our God, ye peoples, And make the voice of his praise to be heard;
